The 54 Senators (4 from NE and IA) who blocked law which could have saved 49 people at gay Orlando club

In 2015, a law to prevent persons on the government's terror watch list from buying guns was defeated in the Senate, mostly by the GOP.
While AKSARBENT doesn't think Americans on secret government lists should have their rights abridged without recourse, the usual suspects below and at right generally do what the NRA tells them, no matter who gets killed or how disturbed their constituents are about high-velocity military assault rifles being sold to civilians with anger issues or crushes on ISIS. We did the math for you: Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer got $101.02 from the NRA per dead body at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Joni Ernst got $202.04 per corpse. But Chuck Grassley got a whopping $465.30 for each person shot in the head, heart or who simply bled out during the hours it took for the cops to break into the club. Way to go, Chuck! Curiously, Ben Sasse didn't get any money from the NRA.
Unlike Deb Fischer, he apparently doesn't need to be paid off by Pepé Le Pew Wayne LaPierre of the NRA
to do the wrong thing — it just comes naturally to him.
